Hi, everyone!  Welcome to my blog where I talk about my ongoing Slimming World and associated health journeys.  I'm now in my target range and am aiming to keep this steady while following Mediterranean diet principles and the Slimming World structure.

I wondered if today would be difficult after yesterday's fasting but it really wasn't, if anything it was easier than usual.

And I really appreciated my fruit and veg.

And my tum seems to have settled.

What I have eaten today:

Before circuits, I had two apples for some energy.
I had sourdough discard overflowing from the jar so I used some of it to make pancakes, not crepes this time but the more solid, risen ones.
I ended up with nineteen (at one syn each or half a B for three - more or less) so, to make it handy for having three at a time, I tested one of them (very nice) for part of a B - see below.

This salad was really lovely; lettuce, tomato, cucumber, baby corn, pepper and carrot plus beetroot, black olives, feta and some balsamic glaze.

One A, half a B (with the pancake) for the seeds, one and a half syns for the glaze and one and a half for the olives.

Afters was an orange.

I made a batch of bean and lentil chilli - four for the freezer, one for this evening and one for tomorrow.
Packed with good stuff, it was lovely - olive oil, onion, peppers, mushrooms, peas, broad beans, sweetcorn, cans of chopped tomato, tomato puree, black beans and kidney beans plus some green lentils (cooked from dried) and seasonings - salt, pepper, garlic, smoked sweet paprika, normal paprika, cumin, dries coriander and chilli flakes.  Oh, and some vegetable bouillon powder and water.

This is why it had to be a batch, not a single portion.

With it, as you can see, I had bulgur wheat and a simple salad plus some Greek yogurt.

Very tasty, very filling and one syn (for the oil).

Summary:

one healthy extra A

half a healthy extra B

four syns

Tomorrow's plans:

B:  fruit

L:  three pancakes with a sort of pizza like topping, salad; fruit

D:  bean and lentil chilli in a basket, salad; fruit

Exercise:  Groove and a walk, possibly a bit of basic yoga
